Many hydropower stations in southwest China are located in regions of brittle rock mass with high geo-stresses. Under these conditions deep fractured zones often occur in the sidewalls of the underground caverns of a power station. The theory and methods of fracture and damage mechanics are therefore adopted to study the phenomena. First a flexibility matrix is developed to describe initial geometric imperfections of a jointed rock mass. This model takes into account the area and orientation of the fractured surfaces of multiple joint sets, as well as spacing and density of joints. Using the assumption of the equivalent strain principle, a damage constitutive model is established based on the brittle fracture criterion. In addition the theory of fracture mechanics is applied to analyze the occurrence of secondary cracks during a cavern excavation. The failure criterion, for rock bridge coalescence and the damage evolution equation, has been derived and a new sub-program integrated into the FLAC-3D software. The model has then been applied to the stability analysis of an underground cavern group of a hydropower station in Sichuan province, China. The results of this method are compared with those obtained by using a conventional elasto-plastic model and splitting depth calculated by the splitting failure criterion proposed in a previous study. The results are also compared with the depth of the relaxation and fracture zone in the surrounding rock measured by field monitoring. The distribution of the splitting zone obtained both by the proposed model and by the field monitoring measurements are consistent to the validity of the theory developed herein.

In-Ceram system is one of contemporary esthetic all ceramic restorations and has relatively high flexural strength. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the marginal fidelity according to type of resin cement and measuring position, and to evaluate fracture strength according to type of resin cement. In this study, twenty seven In-Ceram crowns were fabricated on the metal master die of prepared maxillary right central incisor and devided into three groups. All specimens were cemented with Panavia 21 (group PV), Super-bond (group SB) and Lute-it (group LI) on the metal master die. After cementation, specimens were measured marginal gap between the margin of the In-Ceram crown and the finishing line of metal master die by using a stereomicroscope (SZ-ST, Olympus, Japan). Marginal gaps were recorded at the labial, lingual, mesial and distal measuring points on the metal master die. For the mesurement of fracture strength, lingual surfaces of cemented specimens were loaded at a distance of 1mm from incisal edge by using the Autograph S-2000 (Shimadzu, Japan). The results of marginal fidelity and fracture strength were statistically analyzed with the SPSS version 8.0 programs. The results of this study were as follows: 1. In comparison of marginal fidelity according to the measuring points, there was no significant difference. 2. The marginal fidelity according to the type of resin cement was decreased in order of group $LI\;(63.75{\mu}m),\;SB\;(77.78{\mu}m),\;PV\;(86.53{\mu}m)$, and there was significant difference between group LI and PV (p<0.05). 3. The fracture strength according to the type of resin cement was showed descending order of group $LI\;(60.00kg/cm^2),\;SB\;(56.80kg/cm^2),\;PV\;(56.11kg/m^2)$, but there was no significant difference.

보철물의 실패는 파절로 인해 다수 발생하게 되지만 파절 발생시 그 원인을 파악하는 것은 어렵다. 보철물의 실패를 예방하고 예후를 예측하기 위해 보철물의 원인을 분석하는 것이 중요하며, 원인을 밝히기 위해 파절면 분석을 시행하게 된다. 파절면 분석은 파절면 뿐 아니라 주위 환경(응력 상황)에 대한 분석이 동반되며, 이를 이용하여 균열 진행, 파절 양상, 파절 원인 등을 파악하게 된다. 이 연구의 목적은 임상적으로 기능 후 파절된 임플란트 고정체의 파절면 분석을 시행하여 파절 기전 및 파절 원인(하중 양상)을 밝히는 것이다. 파절된 임플란트 고정체는 3년간 강릉-원주 대학교에 임플란트 고정체의 파절을 주소로 내원한 환자를 대상으로 수집하였다. 먼저 임상 및 방사선 사진 분석을 하였으며, 시편 세척 과정을 거쳐 주사 전자 현미경을 이용한 파절면 분석을 시행하였다. 임플란트 파절면 분석 시 피로 줄무늬, 벽개 파절 등의 파절 지표를 통해 피로 파절로 인해 파절이 발생되었음을 확인할 수 있었다.

All-ceramic restorations have become an attractive alternative to porcelain-fused-to-metal crowns. In-Ceram, and more recently IPS Empress 2 were introduced as a new all-ceramic system for single crowns and 3-unit fixed partial dentures. But their strength and marginal fit are still an important issue. This study evaluated the fracture resistance and marginal fit of three systems of 3 unit all-ceramic bridge fabricated on prepared maxillary anterior resin teeth in vitro. The 3 all-ceramic bridge systems were: (1) a glass-infiltrated, sintered alumina system (In-Ceram) fabricated conventionally, (2) the same system with copy-milled alumina cores (copy-milled In-Ceram), (3) a heat pressed, lithium disilicate reinforced glass-ceramic system (IPS Empress 2). Ten bridges of each system with standardized design of framework were fabricated. All specimens of each system were compressed at $55^{\circ}$ at the palatal surface of pontic until catastrophic fracture occurred. Another seven bridges of each system were fabricated with standard method. All of the bridge-die complexes were embedded in epoxy resin and sectioned buccolingually and mesiodistally. The absolute marginal discrepancy was measured with stereomicroscope at ${\times}50$ power. The following results were obtained: 1. There was no significant difference in the fracture strength among the 3 systems studied. 2. The Weibull modulus of copy-milled In-Ceram was higher than that of In-Ceram and IPS Empress 2 bridges. 3. Copy-milled In-Ceram($112{\mu}m$) exhibited significantly greater marginal discrepancy than In Ceram ($97{\mu}m$), and IPS Empress 2 ($94{\mu}m$) at P=0.05. 4. The lingual surfaces of the ceramic crowns showed smaller marginal discrepancies than mesial and distal points. There was no significant difference between teeth (incisor, canine) at P=0.05. 5. All-ceramic bridges of three systems appeared to exhibit sufficient initial strength and accept able marginal fit values to allow clinical application.

The examinations carried out have confirmed a relationship existing between the character of fracture surfaces and the composition and structure of (basalt and gravel) concretes. For both concretes investigated, a very good correlation was obtained between the profile line development factor, $R_L$, and the fracture surface development factor, $R_S$. With the increase in the $R_L$ parameter, the fracture surface development factor $R_S$ also increased. Agreement between the proposed relationship of $R_S=f(R_L)$ and the proposal given by Coster and Chermant (1983) was obtained. Stereological examinations carried out along with fractographic examinations made it possible to obtain a statistical model for the determination of $R_L$ (or $R_S$) based on the volume of air voids in concrete, $V_{air}$, the specific surface of air pores, $S_V_{air}$ the specific surface of coarse aggregate, $S_{Vagg.}$, and the volume of mortar, $V_m$. An effect of coarse aggregate type on the obtained values of the profile line development factor, $R_L$, as well as on the relationship $R_S=f(R_L)$ was observed. The increment in the fracture surface development factor $R_S$ with increasing $R_L$ parameter was larger in basalt concretes than in gravel concretes, which was a consequence of the level of complexity of fractures formed, resulting chiefly from the shape of coarse aggregate grains.

PURPOSE. To investigate the microtensile bond strength between two all-ceramic systems; lithium disilicate glass ceramic and zirconia core ceramics bonded with their corresponding glass veneers. MATERIALS AND METHODS. Blocks of core ceramics (IPS e.max$^{(R)}$ Press and Lava$^{TM}$ Frame) were fabricated and veneered with their corresponding glass veneers. The bilayered blocks were cut into microbars; 8 mm in length and $1mm^2$ in cross-sectional area (n = 30/group). Additionally, monolithic microbars of these two veneers (IPS e.max$^{(R)}$ Ceram and LavaTM Ceram; n = 30/group) were also prepared. The obtained microbars were tested in tension until fracture, and the fracture surfaces of the microbars were examined with fluorescent black light and scanning electron microscope (SEM) to identify the mode of failure. One-way ANOVA and the Dunnett's T3 test were performed to determine significant differences of the mean microtensile bond strength at a significance level of 0.05. RESULTS. The mean microtensile bond strength of IPS e.max$^{(R)}$ Press/IPS e.max$^{(R)}$ Ceram ($43.40{\pm}5.51$ MPa) was significantly greater than that of Lava$^{TM}$ Frame/Lava$^{TM}$ Ceram ($31.71{\pm}7.03$ MPa)(P<.001). Fluorescent black light and SEM analysis showed that most of the tested microbars failed cohesively in the veneer layer. Furthermore, the bond strength of Lava$^{TM}$ Frame/Lava$^{TM}$ Ceram was comparable to the tensile strength of monolithic glass veneer of Lava$^{TM}$ Ceram, while the bond strength of bilayered IPS e.max$^{(R)}$ Press/IPS e.max$^{(R)}$ Ceram was significantly greater than tensile strength of monolithic IPS e.max$^{(R)}$ Ceram. CONCLUSION. Because fracture site occurred mostly in the glass veneer and most failures were away from the interfacial zone, microtensile bond test may not be a suitable test for bonding integrity. Fracture mechanics approach such as fracture toughness of the interface may be more appropriate to represent the bonding quality between two materials.

지하에 존재하는 파쇄대와 빈 공간 및 터널이 지상에서의 자속밀도분포에 미치는 영향과 심도에 따른 자기이상의 변화를 조사하였다. 파쇄대와 빈 공간 및 지하터널이 있는 지표상에서의 자속밀도분포를 플럭스게이트형 마그네토미터를 사용하여 조사하였다. 지하에 존재하는 파쇄대는 지표면으로부터 높이 0.15 m에서의 자력분포에 (+)피크와 (-)피크로 이루어진 피크 쌍(peak pairs) 형태의 자기이상을 나타내는데, 이러한 자기이상은 지상으로부터 1.15 m의 높이에서는 그 강도가 현저하게 감소한다. 지하의 빈공간에 의하여 자속밀도가 감소하는 자기이상이 발생하며, 지하공간의 심도가 깊을수록 자속밀도의 감소정도가 줄어든다. 이러한 자속밀도 감소 현상을 이용하면 지하에 존재하는 터널과 싱크홀과 같은 빈 공간의 존재와 규모를 탐사할 수 있을 것으로 보인다.

Purpose: To propose a new comprehensive classification system of intraarticular calcaneal fracture based on CT images. Materials and methods: Fourty intraarticular calcaneal fractures which were treated operatively were evaluated retrospectively. We classified fracture types according to severity of comminution on the posterior facet and calcaneocuboid joint by CT images. And we evaluated postoperative results of each fracture types in terms of the quality of fixation and reduction by the postoperative plain radiograghs. Results: By the classification of the posterior facet, 18 cases were P-I, 15 were P-II, and 7 were P-III. Among the P-I cases, 7 were P-IA, 9 were P-IL, 1 was P-IM and 2 were P-IT. According to the classification of calcaneocuboid joint, II cases were C-I, 18 were C-II and 11 were C-III. Qualities of fixation were excellent in 27 cases (67.5%), fair in 9(22.5%) and poor in 4(10%). Qualities of reduction were excellent 23 cases(57.5%), fair in 11(27.5%) and poor in 6(15%). Conclusion: Our new classification system based on the CT images could provide informations about the fracture configuration and severity of comminution around calcaneocuboid joint as well as the posterior facet. And the high grade fractures such as type P-III are need to be taken care of fixation of articular surfaces.
